Upon being calmed down, Cappy introduces himself and explains to Mario that Bowser not only had attacked their kingdom, destroying its airship armada, but had also kidnapped Tiara, Cappy's sister, to use her as Peach's wedding headdress. Mario wakes up, startling Cappy, who attempts to flee. A piece is obtained by a Bonneter named Cappy, who eventually finds Mario in Bonneton, located in the Cap Kingdom.Ĭappy begins nudging Mario to awaken him. He leaves Mario's cap adrift into the ship's back propellers, shredding it in the process. Bowser then takes his airship toward the skies, as he prepares a forced marriage to Peach.
Bowser then throws his hat at Mario, which misses while knocking Mario's cap off his head, then turns around, hitting Mario and sending him flying. Bowser then jumps at Mario and shoots fire at him, missing. Bowser punches the ground as Mario jumps backward. The story begins in the skies above Peach's Castle, where Mario and Bowser are in the middle of fighting each other on Bowser's Airship, with Princess Peach on board as well, witnessing the battle.
